What' spare wheel do you get in the UK, and how is it secured?
Here in the US we get a 'space-saver' spare which is speed-limited to 45MPH. -Not acceptable to me.
So I bought a matching spare wheel and tyre, but the hold-down screw only 'reaches' the height of a space-saver.
Mine is only in there and not bouncing around because of a 'friction-fit' and the bubble-wrap on top.
I wondered if anyone got a full-sized spare in the UK or Europe, and if so, how is it secured in place?
My trunk (boot) pics, for reference: -It's a Sportback in case that makes a difference.
